The Affordable Care Act:
Summary of Preventive Care Coverage at 100%

The Affordable Care Act requires non-grandfathered plans to provide coverage for “preventive care.” This coverage must be provided without cost sharing (e.g., coinsurance, deductible or copayment). Interim final regulations that were issued on July 14, 2010, further define certain categories of items/services that must be covered as preventive care.

Detailed List of Covered Preventive Care Items/Services

Adults
General health screenings
• Blood pressure screening
• Cholesterol screening
• Type 2 diabetes screening
• HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) screenings

Cancer screenings
• Breast cancer mammography
• Breast cancer chemoprevention counseling

• Cervical cancer pap test for women
• Colorectal cancer screenings including fecal occult blood
testing, sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy
• Prostate cancer (PSA) screening for men


You should probably stop posting misinformation all over DU. Several people have pointed out the inaccuracy of your argument; you should listen and learn something.

I'm very sorry about your father; it's rough when loved ones suffer.
